Question

History of the Barn

Answer

"Our barn is on the historical register and was a real working dairy barn up until 1971. We also reused as much of the original wood as we could. Silo bars were built from the original silo that was up by the flag, used for storing grain. The head table was built from the same silo lumber. Hayloft floor was removed and used as the first-floor wall. The desert table is the original workbench that was used in the milk room. We even reused all the original floor joists. The amazing ceiling inside the barn is the original ceiling. The rope on the cross is from the rope used on the track on the ceiling of the barn."
